The problem ha accoured only recently. I tried to record to my computer (Stracraft2) i had 200 fps before i started recording and when i turned it on it dropped to around 10 fps (note that i had absolutely no problem before), tried to change settings, i even set the video to 360p and 8 samples filter, but still i had only 15fps, i tried not to record just stream and the same thing happened. My advanced options is on default, and i tried everything else but no use. Tried to reistall obs, tried to ran 32 and the 64 bit version either but nothing changed.
I monitoered the power usage too, but my cpu didnt go any higher than 25% usage.
I thought it might be the problem of starcraft becouse it had a patch recently, but i tried it with world of tanks and the result was the same, 15fps.
I don't think the problem is with the OBS, but im not absoultely sure.

Your problem -- you're using Monitor Capture. Don't use Monitor Capture. Use Game Capture or Window Capture (with Aero Enabled). Monitor Capture should only be considered as a last resort, when nothing else will work. But for both WoT as well as SC2, Game Capture works just fine.

Game capture actually worked, thank you very much for the fast and usefull answer, but i still have a question in my mind. did anything change recently? Im using monitor capture since i remember and as i said i had no problem.

Monitor Capture has always been slow; if anything changed it must've been on your end. In fact, OBS has only gotten faster in recent times, not slower.

Ok this is strange, i tried monitor capture with aero on and it was smooth, but i haven't ever used aero before.
Anyway, thanks for the answer once again. :)
